The common thread here is that the parents shelled out big buck and gained admission for their kids because they were "supposed" to be college athletes. Why the double standard for admission? The colleges are really the guilty parties. If athletes indeed reflected the student body and held to the same standards, this scam would be moot.
The “horror” is that it publicly exposed these elite colleges as being not so elite!
I agree that most all the focus has been on the parents’ arrests and court proceedings. I’ve heard little or nothing about the college/university officials providing the services. It seems to me their actions are much more serious. Weren’t they personally profiting from the selling of college admission access? Isn’t this similar to drug users and drug dealers in the court system? Aren’t the dealers dealt with more seriously? While here we see nothing happening with sellers (college officials)
Am I missing something?
